DIPLAYwFIXTURE.

To all whom it may concern:. 1

Be it known that I, WILLIAM EDGAR TAY- LOR, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, haveinvented a new and Improved Display-Fixture, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description. I

The object of the invention is to provide a new and im ro'ved displayfixture, more especially deslgned for advanta eously displaying wallpapers and the li (e, and arranged to accommodate a number of wallpapers in proper position for view and selection by a customer, and topermit of con veniently removing any one of the displayed wall papersand replacing the same by another.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations ofthe same,

which will be more fully described hereinafter and then'pointed out inthe claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in

which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts inall the views.

Figure 1 is a front perspeetlve view of the improvement, with all thepanels except one removed; Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view of the sameon the line 2-2of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a similar view of the sameshowing the parts in a different position.

A suitably constructed frame or support A is fastened by screws B, orsimilar fastening devices, to a wall C or the like, and on the saidsupport A are arranged forwardly projecting bearings D, in which ismounted the vertical shaft or red E, set at its lower end in-a step Fattached to the floor. On

the shaft E are secured brackets G, of ap; proximately semicircularshape, provided at their peripheral faces with spaced eyes H, forengagement by hooks I, secured on one side of panels J, on which arestretched and secured the wall papers K to be displayed. Now by thearrangement described, the shaft E and the brackets G form a rack,capable of being turned to bring the panels J to the front or to eitherside, as will be readily understood by reference to Figs. 2 and 3. Byconnecting the panels J with the brackets G in the manner described,each individual panel J can be readily swung on the supporting brackets,to bring the wall paper K into the proper displayed position,

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Application filed. April 15,1909. Serial No. 490,018.

Apr. 26, 1910 as will be understood by reference to Fig.1. Thus thepanels J are mounted to swing in dependcn tly one of the other on therackxand move bodily ,with the rackwhen the latter is turned.

When the device is not in use, the rack is turned so as to bringthes'everal panels J parallel with the wall at either side of thesupport, so that the display fixture takes up very little room when not-1n use. i

Each of the brackets Gris provided at the middle of its peripheral facewith a in. L for the next adjacent panel J to a ut against, to allow ofconveniently turning the rack and the panels into either a side or.front position, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. When the panel adjacent toone side of the pins L is swung against the pins the brackets G,carrying the panels are moved in one direction, and when the paneladjacent the other side of the'pi-ns L is swung against the pins thebrackets are moved in the oppo-' site direction.

The display fixture is .very simple and durable in construction, andpermits of conveniently removing any one of the panels J whenever it isdesired to change the wall paper thereon, and to allow the placing ofanother panel in position of the removed one.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters mounted to turn andprovided with horizontally disposed brackets, panels h ungsat one sideon the peripheral faces of the brackets to swing thereon, and means onthe brackets for engagement by adjacent panels to move the rack bodily.

3. A display fixture, comprisin a port, a rack mounted to turnon saisupporfi,

and provided with horizontally disposdfl semi-circular brackets, a pinprojecting' froiii approximately semi-circular-shape secured ;on saidshaft one above the other, panels tached to the said shaft one above theother,

the rack when the latter is turned.-

4. A display fixture, comprising a sup ort consisting, of verticalstandards secure to a wall or the like, forwardly pro ect1ng bearingsarranged on said support, va. vertical shaft mounted in said bearings, astep for the lower end of said shaft, brackets of carryingwall papersand-removably mounted to swmg on the peripheral faces of said brackets,and projections on the brackets: at the peripheral face thereof andarranged to extendetween two of said panels, for

'- the pu ose set forth.

5. A isplay fixture, comprising a support having bearings, a centralshaft mounted to turn in the said bearings, brackets atpanels carryingwall pa ers and removably hung to swing on the sai I brackets, andpinson the said brackets at the middle of the peripheral faces of thebrackets.

6. A display fixture com rising a sup ort consisting of vertical stanards, secure to a wall or the like, brackets each having arms secured tosaid standards and projecting forwardly therefrom and terminating in abearin a vertical shaft mounted to turn in sai bearings, a step for thelower end of said shaft, horizontally disposed semicircular bracketsarranged on sa1d shaft one above the other and between the saidbearings, means for securing the brackets to the shaft to turntherewith, and anels removably mounted to swing on t e peripheral facesof the brackets,

In testimony whereof I have signed my 7 name to this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.-

WILLIAM EDGAR TAYLOR.
